My approach isn’t just another class—this is a full system for mind and body wellness, straight from the traditions I’ve been trained in. Discipline is the base, but so is living fully. *Zindagi jeenay kay liye hai. Jiyo aur jineenay doh.* (Life is for living. Live and let live.) ### Three Pillars of Training - **Qigong Energy Balancing:** We work on building and moving your Qi (life force) through mindful movement. It’s less about fancy moves, more about intention and real energy. “More Qi, train harder” is something you’ll hear a lot. - **Shaolin Fitness Routine:** Strength, flexibility, and endurance are all built through functional bodyweight exercises and traditional Kung Fu stance training. Expect to sweat. We practice deep stretches (splits, backbends) and static holds. It’s not easy, but it works. - **Zen Meditation Techniques:** Mind is as important as muscle. We focus on seated meditation and chanting (Namo Amituofo) to improve focus and lighten mental load. The goal is to take this peace into daily life, not just leave it on the mat. Some days are tough—the training asks for consistency and honest effort. But if you stick with it, you’ll see change in both mind and body, not just at the surface level. This is Shaolin, but also my way—simple, tough, and real. ## Highlights Browse through Shi Yan Xiang's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/damoshaolinkungfu/mind-body-wellness/featured) - ![This is the result of discipline and correct training.
